The default shell on most Linux operating systems is called Bash. There are a couple of important hotkeys that you should get familiar with if you plan to spend a lot of time at the command line. These shortcuts will save you a ton of time if you learn them.

Ctrl + A Go to the beginning of the line you are currently typing on

Ctrl + E Go to the end of the line you are currently typing on

Ctrl + L Clears the Screen, similar to the clear command

Ctrl + U Clears the line before the cursor position. If you are at the end of the line, clears the entire line.
